- Slept really well, hotel very pleasant, great breakfast with award winning bacon, I do so hate Bacon!
- Sadly it is now very difficult to get my foot in a shoe as the the Shin inflammation has spread down into my foot.
- All the guys here are giving me a tough time about looking after it, elevating it and doing everything necessary to effect repairs.
- Dave takes us into Ambleside so I can get an Ice Pack from Boots and some swimming shorts so I can laze in the pool this afternoon.
- We have to vegetate back to the worlds most obscurely decorated coffee shop in Ambleside, Al found it yesterday and it does killer Fudge Cake, so two hours after cooked breakfast he is eating some more.
- Back at hotel Ice Pack leg, then cover in Ibuprofen Gel, then into the Spa for 30 minutes in the Solarium heating it back up again. Spent the rest of the afternoon reading with the leg elevated.
- Whilst this is a very pleasant way to rest, I have to admit its tainted by the fact that I know I am now behind schedule. I would much prefer to be back here with the family having finished the walk so I just let go and chill.
- David and Jane headed out late afternoon for a walk around a local lake and returned having thoroughly enjoyed it. They are now planning a tougher walk tomorrow
- Had a pleasant dinner on the Terrace this evening, cant help but keep looking down at the ankle, hoping it will suddenly have shrunk to normal size. Sadly it isn't happening.
- For those who know me well, frustration is now striking hard, the daily plan of stops is out of sink and because I am not certain when the healing will be complete I don't know when I will walk again, therefore a new plan can't be formulated. Uncertainty does not sit well with me!!!!!!!
- I swear, even when I know he is absolutely correct, that if Alistair tells me just to take one day at a time once more, he might be returning to Malta having been assaulted with a tent peg. Waiting and patience....two more things I DO VERY BADLY
- Nearly forgot, lunchtime bacon roll 8/10 in toasted Ciabatta Roll (Tim you should have been here) with more award winning bacon, the best so far. It was bought for me, so I hate to think of the price!
- A few really nice texts yesterday from people saying don't get down about the injury and having to stop for a few days, thank you, they really helped.
- Margaret thanks for your fantastic offer in Cheddar I would love to stay. Hopefully there will be no more delays.
- If this entry looks different to all the others its because its the first one not to go through my very sexy ASSISTANT IN DEVON

Good evening, just logged on after a couple of days away, thought i had the wrong blog for a minute.... You get to england and what happens? all this lounging around etc, (Was it speedos or Bermudas? On second thoughts don't want to think about it at the moment, Ally asked, HeHe) i blame Al for the bad influence. Does riding on the back of a donkey or something not qualify then?? Seriously, you look after yourself, Lands End is going nowhere, well last time I heard, there again.. (by the way just take one day at a time)I asked H if he was looking forward to seeing uncle steve, he said he would prefer aunty lucy to stay, obviously no need to rush then! Take care, all our love Si, Ally and H xxx.. x from me
